Initial reports are never the end of the story where Tricastin is concerned, however. If things run their usual course we can expect a slow trickle of bad news about this incident in the coming days.

Poor Tricastin. What kind of life is it, dribbling all over the place, pathetic and stripped of all dignity? If it was a family pet you’d be considering taking it to the vet to ask him to do the kind and humane thing. Won’t someone put Tricastin out of its misery?
